They're easy, short, and ideal for filling in time in a church service where a meditative mood is desired. These are available for purchase from Sheet Music Plus and Sheet Music Direct.
My composition "Heavenly Metals" was written for 3 to 5 octave handbells was included in a reading session at the Area 1 handbell festival in Worcester, Massachusetts this summer. The piece was written for the Heavenly Metal Ringers at Sparta United Methodist Church in New Jersey. It is a simple melody accessibly arranged for all ensembles to enjoy!  I am excited about two pieces that I recently composed for the Bourne High School chorus. For this commission, I wanted to give them pieces that embraced issues of today, and found a kindred spirit in local poet (and now friend) Kim Baker. She wrote timely and heartfelt works that the students were very engaged with, one about climate change, and the other about inclusion. It was great to meet with the students and to hear why these texts were so impactful for them. I hope many choirs will enjoy these pieces!

I am thrilled to announce that my setting of The Lord's Prayer for unison or SATB voices and piano is now available from GIA Music! This setting is only a minute long and fits beautifully in a service as an introit or response to prayer. Visit GIA's website to purchase
In addition to being published in their 50th Anniversary songbook, "Silent Noon" was selected for performance by the Hong Kong Children's Choir 50th Anniversary Concert. www.hkcchoir.org/catalog/tc/
